Through this project we wanted to address what we have seen as an increasing need for both practical knowledge and strategies on how to tackle xenophobia and racism in Europe. This is also due to what both us and our partners recognise as a rise of both xenophobic ideas and movements. Of particular concern has been the impact that this has on youth across the continent. In designing this project we have focused on three interrelated needs: Firstly, xenophobia and racism are on the rise generally in society, but they are also increasing specifically among youth. This is an issue that should be regarded seriously and with urgency. It also indicates a need to strengthen the capacities of youth workers to counteract xenophobia in their work with young people. The first objective of this project has therefore been to provide youth workers with practical tools and strategies for how to counteract xenophobia and racism in their daily work with youth, thereby increasing the quality of their individual practices as well as contributing to the development of youth work organisations and systems more broadly. Secondly, we see an urgent need to stand up against racist actions towards people who are active in civil society, especially racism directed at youth who are engaged for social change. As described in our application, recent reports of young people feeling threatened during their participation in civil society (LSU, 2020) is alarming to us. For us it is of utmost importance that no one feels threatened to participate in democratic platforms and channels. The second objective of this project has therefore been to increase the awareness among youth workers and organisations of racism against youth in civil society. Additionally, we have aimed to strengthen their capacities to provide quality support to and stand in solidarity with the young people who fall subject to racist oppression when engaging and participating in democratic society. Thirdly and relatedly, we see that the rise of xenophobia and racism among young persons is interrelated with issues of decreasing youth participation in society - which is something that needs to be addressed. There are many organisations that are working to create positive social change but this connection has not sufficiently been attended to. There is, as a result, a lack of strategies on how to address the interrelationship between rising xenophobia and racism in society in general and decreasing youth participation. The third objective has thus been to contribute to youth workers’ and organisations’ increased capacity to address youth participation, inclusion and anti-racism holistically, and to collaborate over constructed national, ethnic, cultural and other borders for positive social change in their communities. To summarise, this project has aimed to provide youth workers with both practical tools and strategies to counteract racism in their day to day work with youth. The tools have consisted of methods for self-reflection in addition to strategies for planning and carrying out anti-racist projects and activities. This twofold approach to 1. reflexivity and increased knowledge on anti-racism in practice and as practice, and 2. practical implementation of anti-racist projects, has enabled us to provide our participants with a comprehensive understanding of and approach to anti-racism. This project has therefore been an important contribution to our continued work to develop our social justice initiatives through European partnerships.
